Richardson permanently rejoined the group in 2012. In the following year, they celebrated their 20th anniversary and released their first independent album, In a World Like This. Their follow-up album DNA (2019) debuted at number one, more than two decades after the group formed and 19 years after they last topped in 2000. They also became the first boy band to top the U.S. album charts in three different decades.
The Backstreet Boys have sold over 100 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling boy band of all time, and one of the world's best-selling music artists. They are the first group since Led Zeppelin to have their first ten albums reach the top 10 on the Billboard 200, and the only boy band to do so. The albums Backstreet Boys and Millennium were both certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), making them one of the few bands to have multiple diamond albums.
The group received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on April 22, 2013.[ They also released their first documentary movie, titled Backstreet Boys: Show 'Em What You're Made Of in January 2015. In March 2017, the group began a residency in Las Vegas that lasted two years, titled Backstreet Boys: Larger Than Life. They released their first Christmas album, A Very Backstreet Christmas in 2022.

Backstreet Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like so many times, so many times before
Filmed like a scene on the cutting room floor
I wanna let you walk away tonight without a word
I try to sleep, yeah
But the clock is stuck on thoughts of you and me
A thousand more regrets unraveling
I swear I'd tell you this
Baby I don't wanna waste another day
Keepin it inside, it's killing me
'Cause all I ever wanted comes right down to you, to you
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you, every time you leave
I'm inconsolable
I climb the walls, yeah
I can see the edge,
But I can't take the fall, no
I've memorized the number
So why can't I make the call
Maybe 'cause I know you'll always be with me
In the possibility
Baby I don't wanna waste another day
Keepin it inside, it's killing me
'Cause all I ever wanted comes right down to you, to you
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you, every time you leave
I'm inconsolable
No, no, no
I don't wanna be like this
I just wanna let you know
That everything I hold in
Is everything I can't let go (oh, can't let go)
'Cause
Baby I don't wanna waste another day
Keepin it inside, it's killing me
'Cause all I ever wanted comes right down to you, to you
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you, every time you leave
I'm inconsolable
Don't you know it baby
I don't wanna waste another day
I wish that I could find the words to say
Baby I would tell you, every time you leave
I'm inconsolable
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'm inconsolable
Whoa yeah
I'm inconsolable
The Backstreet Boys' song "Inconsolable" is a heart-wrenching ballad about a failed relationship. The lyrics describe the desperation and pain of a person who has been left behind by their lover. The opening lines, "I close the door, like so many times, so many times before," refer to the repetition and familiarity of saying goodbye. The next line, "Filmed like a scene on the cutting room floor," suggests that the relationship has been edited out, as if it never even existed. The singer wishes to let their love interest walk away without speaking to avoid any further pain.
The chorus repeats the theme of the singer's inability to express their emotions. They are struggling to keep their feelings inside and long for their love interest to stay. The line "I climb the walls, yeah, I can see the edge, but I can't take the fall, no" paints a vivid picture of a person trapped in their emotions, unable to move forward or let go.
The song's poignant melody reflects the sorrow and anguish of the lyrics, culminating in the final repetition of "I'm inconsolable." The song's raw emotion makes it relatable to anyone who has ever experienced heartbreak.
